Abstract

Methods and systems for recovering, transporting, and using methane gas and conventional Natural Gas are disclosed. More particularly, such methods generally include the steps of (a) transferring gas from a source to a first subterranean capacitor and storing the gas in the capacitor and (b) transferring gas from the first subterranean capacitor to a second subterranean capacitor, a pipeline, an end user (such as an automobile), a gas processor, or a power plant.
